Disclaimer: Sadly I own nothing.
A/N: I found this fun little site, that tells you who you were in a past life. So I thought I'd make a fic about that using my favorite Smallville couple.
A/N part2: The other Smallville characters will be making an appearances, I kept all the names the same so you'll know who they are.
Chapter 7
Alexander was covered in dust as he heaved another stone on to the cart. He looked across the site that they were building the mill. It was coming along nicely.
He wiped his some sweat of his brow and watched the farmer Clark carry the stones all the way to the site without a cart. Alexander knew the farmer was strong, but the day was not yet over and he looked as if he had just started.
Alexander walked down to the stream to clean up a bit. He brought some water to lips for a drink and turned around when he heard a branch break. And he saw her leaning against a tree. Her brown hair was flowing loosely around her shoulders.
"My Lady" Alexander said bowing.
"Sir" she said smiling
"May I inquire what you are doing out here?" Alexander asked.
"Lois had asked me to bring Clark some dinner" Chloe replied holding up a dinner pail.
"Ah of course, he is over there working"
"I see, when is it to be finished?" she asked.
"Three months or so, I hope"
"I hope you are up to it Sir" She said with a look of amusement at his disheveled appearance.
He placed a smirk across his face. "of course I am"
Then her face turned into concern. "Are you hurt?"
"I don't believe so" He said confused
"You are bleeding"
Alexander looked down saw a red stain leaking through his shirt. He must have cut himself with a piece of stone. He had been so busy he did not have to notice. "It appears to be just a scrape"
"I think I shall have look" she replied
"It's not that bad, I shall live" he said smiling at the thought of her caring.
"I still believe that I should have a look"
"I have had worse, my lady"
"I do not doubt you Sir, as have I" She replied "I should still clean it then"
"And have you brought aid in Clark's dinner pail" he said smiling
"Must you always fight me Sir"
"Ah by my lady it is with words and that makes the battle much more intriguing." Alexander replied. "But if it will make you feel better, then I shall let you have a look"
Chloe went to the stream and wet a cloth from Clark's pail. She walked over to Alexander as he was untying the top of his shirt. He winced a little when he pulled the shirt of his skin. Chloe would not have noticed if she had not been watching so closely. She saw the way the afternoon sun played across his taut chest muscles and mat of dark curls.
Alexander sat down in the grass as Chloe made her way over to him. Her fingers were trembling when while she gently touched the cloth to his skin. She was so focused at the task at hand that she was startled when Alexander grabbed her wrist.
"I am sorry, did I hurt you"
"No" He replied and put his free hand around her waist and in one smooth movement lifted her and rolled her onto her back in the grass. He was on top of her staring into her eyes.
Chloe's arms instinctively went around his neck. She pulled him closer feeling all of him against her thigh. Her was racing.
Alexander leaned down and brought his lips to hers. She was as sweet and fresh as he had always imagined.
This is what she had wanted since she first laid eyes on Alexander and she was not disappointed. She deepened the kiss.
Alexander lightly ran his hands over breasts and she moaned beneath him. His hands went further down to her legs and were running underneath her dress. Her nails dug into his back. She knew she should not be doing this, but she never wanted anything more.
"Chloe!" They heard coming from the other side of the woods.
Chloe's eyes opened suddenly "Clark!" she said
Alexander got off her as quick as he could and helped her up. Chloe was straightening her dress and Alexander was trying to tie up his shirt just as Clark made his way towards them.
"What is going on here?" Clark asked.
Alexander could not speak he only saw himself strangling Clark.
"Alexander was just explaining to me why the Mill needed to be built by water" Chloe replied "But I have your dinner that Lois spent many hours preparing"
Clark stood there for a moment trying to make sense of it. "Did you tell her how much faster this new mill will be"
"Yes, of course" Alexander replied.
Chloe sighed and was thankful her brother-in-law was not too bright. She walked over to him and handed him the dinner pail. But by now he was babbling on about how much faster the Mill was going to be. She had to follow him and pretend to be interested. She looked over at Alexander standing by the stream and smiled.
Alexander smiled back, he took a deep breathe to calm himself down. So he wouldn't hurt the ignorant farmer. He exhaled and followed them to the Mill.
